Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 101 The Calm Before the Storm

The pressure that the Bio-Armor brought to the Sand and Rock Ninja was far more terrifying than imagined.

As a revolutionary technology, the Konoha ninja recognized the power of the Augmentation Armor, but their enemies did not understand it as deeply.

Faced with a Konoha ninja who is indestructible, has strong regenerative abilities, and can use ninjutsu, the Sand and Iwa ninjas become easy prey.

A single bio-armored squad can easily break through local enemy encirclements.

They charged ahead recklessly, without any restraint.

"This can't go on!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, spoke out angrily, revealing his fear of Konoha.

This fear stemmed from a person he and his master, the Second Tsuchikage Mu, encountered when they went to Konoha to prepare for the alliance.

Madara Uchiha!

That was Onoki's lifelong nightmare.

His godlike figure was deeply etched into Onoki's heart at that time.

This caused Onoki to involuntarily bow his head in worship.

"Let's suspend our plans against Kumogakure for now and prepare to gather our forces to attack Konoha."

Fear of Konoha still overwhelmed Onoki. Although the Cloud Ninja were a tough nut to crack, Onoki was confident he could defeat them.

But Konoha is different. Onoki doesn't want to face Konoha at its peak, and he wants to extinguish even the slightest possibility of victory.

"Go contact the Sand Village ninja; we're going to attack together with them this time!"

Ōnoki hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Bring Lao Zi to see me; the village needs his help this time."

Old Purple was hot-tempered and stubborn. He didn't get along with Onoki and couldn't find any supporters in Iwagakure. In a fit of anger, he left the village.

Although Rōshi disapproved of Ōnoki, Ōnoki was the Tsuchikage, and Rōshi could not refuse him when he needed his power.

This is the responsibility of the Jinchūriki.

Soon, Old Purple arrived at Onoki's room.

"Ohnoki, what do you want with me?"

As soon as Old Purple saw Onoki, he questioned him in a very aggressive tone.

"What else can you do with a Jinchuriki during wartime? Fight, of course!"

Onoki gave a curt reply.

"How's your cultivation going?"

"I can now fully enter Tailed Beast form."

Old Zi spoke calmly, but the smugness in his eyes was unmistakable.

During his time away from Iwagakure, Rōshi didn't do nothing. He visited various temples and studied Buddhist scriptures, with remarkable results, making good progress in controlling the tailed beasts.

Onoki's expression flashed with surprise; he hadn't expected that Rōshi would take another step forward on the path of Jinchūriki.

"This time, you and Han will fight together. With two Jinchuriki and ten thousand Iwa ninja, you must win in one blow!"

"With so many Iwa ninja mobilized, what will happen to the village? What if the Kumo ninja attack..."

Onoki said seriously, "Konoha's bio-engineered armor has been deployed on a large scale. Nobody knows how much war potential a thriving Konoha has. This is too dangerous."

"I'll protect the village, so you don't need to worry."

Old Zi was somewhat surprised, "Is it that serious?"

"The situation is only more serious than you imagine!"

The Sand Village Camp.

After receiving Onoki's letter, Rasa closed his eyes and pondered what benefits the Sand Village could gain.

"Elder Chiyo, the Iwa ninja want to join us in attacking Konoha. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Rasa's words, Chiyo touched the deep knife wound on her chest and thought of her deceased son and daughter-in-law.

"We can give it a try. In the current state of Konoha, it would be difficult for our family alone to deal with them. If we have the help of the Iwa ninja, we might be able to give it a shot, but we must be careful of the Iwa ninja; they cannot be trusted."

"The Guyver Armor is too effective against our puppets; the poison is basically ineffective. Rasa, you need to think about where the Sand Village can go from here."

Looking at Chiyo's seemingly submissive attitude, Rasa nodded to himself.

His order to use the lives of Sand Ninja to stop White Fang on the battlefield was worthwhile, allowing Chiyo to escape.

Chiyo and Ebizo have already made it clear that they will resign from their positions as elders after the war ends, then retire and no longer interfere in any affairs of Sunagakure.

Rasa feigned respect by retaining Chiyo and Ebizo's positions as elders, but agreed to their requests to retire.

Since Chiyo and Ebizo had relinquished their actual power, Rasa could still tolerate the title of elder.

Now that things have come to this, Rasa has won badly. The Sunagakure leadership has suffered a major blow this time, with Chiyo and Ebizo retiring.

From now on, Rasa's family will be the sole power in Sunagakure.

"No... there's also that woman, Yekura."

Luo Sha narrowed his eyes, but now was not the time to get rid of Ye Cang.

"Then we agree to attack Konoha together with the Iwa ninja. The ninjas and Bunpuku that the village has dispatched should be arriving soon."

……

Konoha's Eastern Front Camp.

Orochimaru is holding a strategy meeting.

"Gentlemen, the situation is a bit dangerous. The Sand Village and Iwa Village have been unusually quiet lately."

Having experienced many battles, Orochimaru's sense of smell was excessively keen, and he could already sense that this was the calm before the storm.

"It seems that the Guyver Armor has indeed put tremendous pressure on the Sand and Iwa ninja, making them willing to join forces against Konoha."

"There are also Wood Release test subjects."

Tsunade added, a flash of anger in her eyes.

Wood Release experimental subjects should never exist!

They were just cannon fodder, only they were given the title of Will of Fire.

What's even more ironic is that the source of the experiment was her great-grandfather's cells.

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, everyone in the camp fell silent, and no one dared to reply.

"snort!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and remained silent.

"I have received news that the One-Tailed Jinchuriki of Sunagakure is about to arrive on the battlefield, and Iwagakure is also mobilizing a large number of troops."

"It seems the Sand Village and Iwa Village are planning a decisive battle."

Orochimaru's gloomy and cold eyes gleamed with a different light; he wondered how many people would die this time.

"I have already requested reinforcements from the village, and we have enhanced armor, so the advantage is on my side."

"But we can't let the Sand Village and Iwa Village accumulate power smoothly; we need to cause them some trouble."

As he spoke, Orochimaru pointed to the Kannabi Bridge on the map.

"Blowing it up will greatly increase the difficulty and risk of transporting supplies from Iwagakure. This will buy us more time."

"Kannabi Bridge is indeed the lifeline of Iwagakure's transportation, but we know that, and the Iwagakure ninja know it too. They will definitely guard it heavily."

Nara Shikaku added.

"Therefore, we need a highly mobile ninja to blow it up."

After hearing Orochimaru's words, a gentle, smiling figure flashed through everyone's minds, a sight that felt like a warm breeze.

"Watergate!"

"Yes, with Minato's Flying Thunder God technique, he would be the best candidate to blow up the Kannabi Bridge."

When Orochimaru mentioned Minato, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Minato's reputation has risen too quickly lately, so quickly that even Orochimaru was surprised.
